Programme design and implementation
We design donor-funded programmes and help run them, taking responsibility for teams, budgets, partners and reporting so that funding turns into results.
Funding is approved on the strength of a proposal, but results depend on what happens next: hiring the right people, managing partners, spending on time and reporting the way each donor requires.
We bring experience from both sides of the table, having designed programmes and been accountable for delivering them.
Support across the full programme cycle, from the first concept note to handover.
We shape programmes from the first idea to a fundable proposal, with the budget and results framework to match.
We set up and manage the units that run large government or multi-partner programmes.
We manage the partners who deliver on the ground, so quality and compliance hold across the portfolio.
We plan and manage the rollout of diagnostics, surveillance systems and rapid response mechanisms at national scale.
We design MEAL systems that tell you what is working early enough to act on it.
We provide senior programme leadership and help public health agencies build lasting capacity.
Our approach follows the programme cycle. Timelines depend on the funder and the scale of the work.
We shape the programme, its budget and its results framework with you and your partners.
We put the team, systems, partners and controls in place.
We run activities, manage partners and handle risk as it comes up.
We track progress against agreed indicators and report in each donor’s format.
We capture lessons and hand over to national systems so results last.
Still at the planning stage? Our health security advisory service helps shape the strategy and the funding case first.

Dr Agogo has been accountable for delivering programmes, not just designing them. He oversaw a $130M+ portfolio at the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, supervised a $150M Global Fund portfolio at the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, and built Resolve to Save Lives Nigeria from its first hire.
Both. Some clients ask us to design a programme and hand it over; others ask us to design it and stay on to deliver.
